Were you pasting text via X (say by pasting the primary selection
through a mouseclick to CMUCL running in a  terminal?)

I'm asking to check if there are limits involved before cmucl gets to
the text

With cmucl running in an xterm I seem to have a  4k limit on the size of
the string I can paste to the repl which is running 
(read-line t nil nil)
